Chapter 45 That's right, wife.
Ruan Zhijuan was being tossed around by Zhou Gangxun, her pretty face scrunched up, and she raised her hand to slap him across the face. "Zhou Gangxun, what are you doing? I didn't mean head, I meant toes."
Zhou Gangxun's eyes were so bad that he could barely see the spot on Ruan Zhijuan's big toe. There was a tiny red mark there, from when he had just thrown her back onto the bed and she had hit the wall.
"This is very serious; you'll need amputation, you'll have to cut off this toe..."
Ruan Zhijuan stared blankly at Zhou Gangxun, whose face was solemn. "...(๑ʘ∀ʘ) Tch...cut it off?"
Zhou Gangxun looked at Ruan Zhijuan and said in a serious tone, "The rat carries a virus. Before it spreads, I'll chop off that toe for you. If it's too late, your whole leg will have to be sawed off."
As he spoke, he grabbed Ruan Zhijuan's foot and headed to the kitchen to get a knife to chop her up.
Ruan Zhijuan quickly hugged Zhou Gangxun's thigh (へ(;´Д｀へ), "No, no, Zhou Gangxun, you...you take another look. I feel it's not that serious, it doesn't hurt, it's just a little red...no, it's not red...it's nothing...it's okay, it's okay, husband..."
Zhou Gangxun led the person a few more steps towards the kitchen before looking at the pitiful figure on the ground, who was on the verge of tears. "Are you sure you're alright?"
"No...it's nothing, nothing at all." Ruan Zhijuan nodded firmly with red eyes and a resolute gaze, her chest pressed against Zhou Gangxun's knees, her heart still pounding wildly with fear.
"Then go to sleep." Zhou Gangxun shook his long legs and turned back to his dog's... bed on the floor without the slightest hesitation.
Left behind: ? (´⊙ x ⊙`) Wait a minute, something's not right... Let me sort this out...
He blinked as he thought. Normally, Zhou Gangxun should have massaged his feet, then scolded him for being a stinky rat that dared to bite him, then caught all the rats to vent his anger, and finally bought him two cans of food.
That's right, he just wanted to eat canned food (๑´•﹃•`๑).
Ruan Zhijuan just had a dream where a woman bought canned pineapple for her daughter to eat.
Pineapple is sweet and sour, and when soaked until soft, every bite is sure to taste like sweet syrup.
He licked his lips and moved next to Zhou Gangxun. "Zhou Gangxun, but the rats bit me. They don't respect you at all. I'm your wife, you're the head of the household. Listen, they're still jumping around up there, squeaking, scratching at the wall and gnawing at the wood..."
Then, the sound of scraping wooden boards and scratching walls echoed from the ceiling, "creak—creak—".
The sharp, grating sound was like a hand scratching deep inside the ear, making the eardrum itch unbearably, the skin tighten all over the body, and the teeth ache.
The more you listen, the more uneasy you feel, as if the words will pop out of your ears at any moment.
But Zhou Gangxun's attention wasn't there; his eyes were fixed on Ruan Zhijuan. "Am I the head of the family?"
"Of course, of course," Ruan Zhijuan nodded in agreement. "I'd like to eat two cans of pineapple tomorrow, so I'll deduct it from your six hundred yuan..."
Zhou Gangxun gave a cold laugh. All the ways Ruan Zhijuan addressed him—husband, head of the family—had their prices clearly stated.
"Squeak—"
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ceiling above, followed by more fine cracks that spread rapidly from the southwest corner in all directions. Wall plaster and cement dust fell down, hitting the ground, furniture, and people.
Not only that, but a strong smell of blood and decay began to fill the room.
It looked like a bunch of rats had died on the ceiling, rotting, infested with maggots, and turning into a pool of black liquid.
Zhou Gangxun frowned; it seemed he couldn't wait until morning.
He got up and rolled up the blankets and pillows on the bed and stuffed them into the closet. He moved all the things in the living room and bedroom to the kitchen or the entryway.
Ruan Zhijuan watched Zhou Gangxun pack up his things and followed him like a little shadow, worried that if the rats ran out and wandered around, they might spread the virus to her underwear and clothes.
So he took Zhou Gangxun's big coat, wrapped his own clothes in it, tied it up on the outside, made a small bundle, and held it happily in his arms.
Seeing Ruan Zhijuan's look of abandoning everyone in the face of disaster, Zhou Gangxun silently took the key and locked the door from the inside.
Wait, nobody run away.
If something happens, no one should live alone.
That's right, honey.
